Invest Yourself

Good morning everyone, we've made it to another one of those Friday things that seem to get here faster each year.

Except for the flow of earnings releases, the overnight session was pretty quiet. MSFT was the "big one" and they did pretty well. Interestingly, after their release they were up strongly, then faded to go red. This morning they've inched back to green.

Good morning all, I hope you're enjoying your 4th of July Holiday period. As always I hope your weekend was a great one.

The wife and I had a very cool experience Sunday. Because we're now in the rainy season, you can count on a thunderboomer almost every afternoon. So we didn't want to risk the beach, and decided to walk the Sky way fishing pier. About halfway out I saw some people looking very concerned, as they peered over the concrete rail. The skyway fishing pier is actually the old roadway of the original skyway bridge and made of concrete and steel. Anyway, we could see something going on and walked over. The roadbed is about 15 feet above the water and down below was a 250 - 200 lb green sea turtle in trouble.

Good morning all, welcome back from your weekend. I know, I know, a lot of you only had a 2 day weekend, but some of you did get lucky and eek out the third. Anytime the market is closed for a Holiday, it's a time of celebration for me!

You all know that the major bankers have been hit with over 30 BILLION dollars worth of fines for rigging markets. They've rigged LIBOR, Gold, Silver, Forex, etc. This isn't speculation, this isn't a theory, this is simply the truth. You can look up the cases.

So the question is, if the banking institutions will collude with each other and rig the price of say LIBOR rates, or the daily quote on Silver, do you think it stops there? I argue "no way!". From where I sit, I see manipulation and rigging every where I look.

Earlier today we got the oil inventory numbers. Now think back to your economics 101 class. What happens if supply is tight on something? The natural reaction is for prices to rise. Likewise, if supply is abundant, then it holds to reason that prices would fall. So, what did we see in the oil numbers? Let's take a look....

Yesterday they pulled off the late day "Ramp Capital" as they do so often. There was a particular level they needed to take the market to and just like magic, it happened. So, am I surprised that this morning the futures are green? Not even a little bit.

So, where do we go today? Good question. If their "pattern" continues, they'll probably try and inch us back up to the 2182 level. However, if we can't get through that... we'll probably be right back to testing 2175 again.

Good morning all, welcome back from your weekend.... and one that I hope you very much enjoyed. Here at our homestead, Saturday was fairly routine, capped off by a night of Free UFC fights courtesy of Fox. I've been a fan of the UFC since its beginning, mainly because way back in ancient history, your editor spent 3 evenings a week from the age of 11 - 18 studying martial arts. I don't speak of it much, since it was so very long ago, but yes, I hold a black belt in Judo and a second "dan" in jiu-jitsu. However, truth be told I haven't trained in it in over 30 years

We are a world awash in lies. It is so prevalent that 90% of our citizens have absolutely no idea of what’s real and what is not. How can I possibly say such a thing? Because I have spent the last 25 years of my life digging below the main stream news, and discovering the truth about things. Rarely if ever do they match up.

Hillary is the Democrats big hope for the White House. She, just like her psychopathic husband Bill have looked into the cameras and into your eyes and said “I did not have, receive or send classified Email from my private server.” But Jim Comey, head of the FBI said just the opposite. He said she had 113 Classified Emails on her server, several of them of the utmost security level of top secret, and she was probably hacked. She lied. She’s a serial liar.
